The sizzling summer is upon us, calling for barbecues, pool parties, and backyard get-togethers of all shapes and sizes. One of the best ways to wrap up a fun summer day is (of course) to enjoy a cold, refreshing frozen dessert. If you’re on dessert duty and unsure of what to pick up on your way to the shindig, have no fear—Aldi has plenty of affordable and delicious options.

With everything from gelato to frozen fruit pops, there’s truly something for everyone in the frozen dessert section at Aldi. Another great thing about these items? They’re all budget friendly, which means you can pick up a few options for party-goers to choose from. Beat the heat this summer with these crowd favorites.

The Best Frozen Desserts at Aldi

Sundae Shoppe Fudge & Caramel Sundae Nut Cones

Let’s kick off the list with a classic because you simply can’t go wrong with an ice cream cone on a hot summer day! This variety pack comes with eight sundae cones, four each of vanilla caramel and vanilla fudge. Each cone is made with luscious vanilla ice cream packed into a crisp sugar cone and topped with a rich chocolate coating and toasty chopped peanuts. Depending on the flavor, there's a decadent core of either a caramel sauce or a fudge sauce. Every bite tastes like sweet summer.

Sundae Shoppe Gelato

If you’re someone who screams for ice cream in the summertime (don’t we all?), then the gelato from Aldi is an absolute must try. This dessert comes in three flavor options, including Caramel Cookie Crunch, Mixed Berry, and Triple Chocolate. Each one contains a creamy, luscious vanilla gelato swirled with ribbons of the flavor you choose, ensuring a bit of texture throughout each bite.

Sundae Shoppe Fruit Bars

These are for the friend who loves a big cold fruit bowl and fruity beverages, or for anyone in the mood for something slightly sweet and slightly tart. The frozen fruit bars come in packs of four, with each box containing either strawberry or mango. Frozen fruit bars are delicious any time of year, but these are especially enjoyable under the warm sun.

Sundae Shoppe Premium Ice Cream Pints

Think of these fully loaded ice cream pints are like the Aldi version of Ben & Jerry’s. With fun names like Brookie Dough, Make Fudge Not War, and Thank You Cherry Much, each pint contains endless bits of flavor and texture throughout. Brookie Dough is made with vanilla and chocolate ice cream, plus chocolate chip cookie dough and brownie chunks. Make Fudge Not War combines chocolate ice cream with just brownie chunks. Thank You Cherry Much features a cherry ice cream studded with cherries and chocolate chunks. This ice cream is for those who, like me, swoon over ice cream with copious amounts of mix-ins.

My/Mochi Ice Cream

Mochi is a fun way to switch things up from more traditional desserts like ice cream cones and frozen fruit bars. My/Mochi's bite-sized treats are made by wrapping creamy ice cream in soft and chewy mochi. Each box contains six pieces and flavor options include cookies and cream, green tea, ripe strawberry, and sweet mango.

Sundae Shoppe Mini Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches

Aldi's mini ice cream sandwiches are perfect when you’re looking to satisfy that sweet tooth craving without indulging in a huge dessert. The minis are quite small, and some shoppers describe them as vanilla ice cream sandwiched between two Oreo cookies. An Oreo with ice cream instead of frosting? Sign me up! They come in two flavor options (vanilla or mint) and each box contains a generous 12 ice cream sandwiches, making it ideal for birthday celebrations and pool parties, where kids will be eagerly awaiting a sweet treat after running around or swimming all day.
